American Idol Is For Girls!

14 October, 2009

American Idol is for girls! At least that's the prediction from judge Randy Jackson, as he forecasts how the ladies will take center stage over male contestants in the upcoming 9th season of American Idol. Dish Network really doles out the best entertainment!

In a recent interview for 'People' Jackson, age 53, noted that male contestants had dominated the show during the past two seasons. He thinks the girls will give all the guys a real run for their money this time around. Jackson made the statement at the recent Yahoo! Yodel Studio, a one-day music event and yodeling extravaganza in NYC. My late mom, an expert yodeler, would have loved that!

No doubt there will be a direct correlation between Title 9 (the law that requires schools to let girls participate in all sports and athletic activity) and AI's season 9. It's time again for the girls to win! Not since country songbird Carrie Underwood took the AI crown has there been a female 'Idol' winner.

Pitching for the girl's team (no pun intended) is one entirely dedicated Ellen DeGeneres. The captivating comic is a much anticipated addition to the AI judging panel. While not a music industry expert, she brings more of that common viewpoint that is prevalaent throughout the call-in voting audience. That's something that has definitely been missing from the previously star-studded group in prior years. We're all looking forward to the new season, which is due to start up in January 2010.
